I believe it's been longer than 10 years. I feel like I recently saw something from CHCH saying it was 15 years ago. Which would mean the A&W drive through was likely allowed because it existed pre-renovation.
Anyways, more generally, drive-thru's are terrible urbanism and terrible for the environment. But, if they're banned city wide, I see many more fast-food restaurants instituting those special parking spots where people drive up, park, and have their food brought out to them. If people would not idle when parked, that would be great, but in my experience they do.
